I’ve been coming here for nearly a decade. I’ve made friends. I’ve found a number of fulfilling, wonderful relationships. And I’m here now because I want to pour myself into someone else all over again.

When we talk, I hope we both feel witty, respected and appreciated. I want you to feel interesting when you share your day with me, and be interested in my hobbies and passions. I want the kind of spark that costs us both sleep, even though we really should go to bed already.

I don’t expect us to date, or meet, or even be talking in a year… But if things go well? I crave that feeling of getting just a little bit carried away; the feeling of walking down a steep a hill where you let gravity do a little too much of the work. We’re likely hundreds of miles apart staring at our glowing rectangles: let’s see what intense, happy feelings we can conjure together.

I work from home, so I’m usually around to chat. I’ve got my shit together; I’ll take my serious issues to my therapist, not to you. Compatibility is important and takes many forms:

• mutual physical attraction
• similar timezones
• desire to text often and voice chat occasionally
• desire to leave reddit after we get to know one another a bit

My profile is intentionally blank, but via chat I’m an open book. I’m happy to share my main reddit username as soon as we feel comfortable. I’d love to form a deep connection in whatever ways work for us. Consent is sexy. Ghosting is not.

I am very unlikely to answer messages or chats without the following things:

• a little about yourself, including your age and location
• what you’re looking for (in your own words: not 'the same thing you are'), and
• a selfie (I'll send mine back)

Looking forward to getting to know you :)
